The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

I'm not sure. Looks like he only has 4 foot tarps... The load appears to be insulation, as best as I can see. Currently he is Climbing up and down the ladder with rope from the rings down to the rub rail... I would unstrap the entire load and throw them over the tarp instead of the rope deal, or just completely remove the tarp... lol.

My view has been blocked as this has caught the attention of other drivers as well.

 

LOL... I'm not sure if the tornado took the flip flops with the tarp or what... they have shoes on.

 

Lol to be fair i have put my tarps on backwards before . Actually i think i posted about it on here . Couldnt figure out why my bungees kept snapping in the middle ... ended up pulling into a rest area after fixing on the side of the road 3 or 4 times... stared at it for about 20 seconds "yep im a frickin idiot, the tarps are on backwards !" One of those loads i got in a hurry and paid for it later

 

Lmfao

 

Is it that obvious?

I hauled glass there for a year and moved on to better paying opportunities.

 

Not knocking ya man. I was just wondering.

I always see mavericks using the trip chain on skidded coils, so I kinda figured you may have... no harm.

 

What is a trip chain ? The strap at the bottom of frst coil ?

 

Yes

 

It’s all good. I guess the laughing emoji didn’t come through in the post.

The mega flatbed company’s mostly offer good training for the things they haul all the time. They are a great place to get started in my opinion. I went to maverick with experience hauling and securing stone, so I had a good base line. During orientation I watched them turn people who had never even seen a strap or chain into decent flat bedders in two weeks. I was impressed.

 

I was gonna say i learned more from maverick drivers than anybody when i first started, seems they were always willing to help as well.
